Canada then went away to 5-1 before the second period was over, and Linus Soderstrom left the target for the benefit of Erik Källgren.

– We give them their positions, they are not that difficult to meet, it is our mistake that they take advantage of. When we play well, we play them out, but when we make our mistakes punish us hard, ‘said Nylander to SVT pause.

“Is a Joke”

After two quick goals by Sweden in the third period, the game was alive again. The first came after a shot from Petterson – who most people thought got outside. Video Preview, but it was clear that the puck is passed through a mesh of the net and that Sweden had 2-5.

Sweden equalized

It got even worse. Pettersson equalized to 6-6 and the puck went through the mesh.

position to level the score again, but the Canadian goalkeeper stood for a giant rescue and it became a Swedish loss despite the pick-up.
